Moet & Chandon Rose Grand Vintage 2012, Champagne

Bright pink with orange undertones, fine and persistent bubbles. The first fresh notes of pink grapefruit and blood orange are followed by the scents of small red stone fruits such as morello cherry, before finishing with nuances of wild strawberry and rhubarb. The sensation starts out balanced, soft and silky. The initial airy and delicate texture then asserts itself with a fruity and slightly astringent finish, evoking plum or damson plum.

Grapes: 42% Pinot Noir (including 13% red wine), 35% Chardonnay and 23% Meunier.
